Wealth, Power & Influence with Jason Stapleton

Business


We’ve got a raucous show for you guys today! While we didn’t plan on having a debate, that’s basically where we ended up. Last week, one of the major trending news stories was the new Netflix movie Cuties, which rather graphically depicts the grooming and sexualization of 11-year-old girls. Even IMDb admitted the movies contained scenes that are lawfully defined as pedophilia — though that content warning has predictably been deleted. Elsewhere, Burger King released a "Love Conquers All" ad depicting their mascot in a, uh, rather enthusiastic same-sex kiss with Ronald McDonald. It seems like just yesterday (it was 2008) when Mr. Progressive himself, Barack Obama, stated on the record that he believed marriage should only be between a man and a woman. How did we go from that to Netflix advertising soft-core child porn and fast food restaurants depicting their mascots making out? Is this just happenstance, or does history reveal an identifiable trend? It got a little heated toward the end; but don't worry, we're all good. :) We’d love to know where you guys fall on the debate. You can email us at support@jasonstapleton.com, or tweet us at @jason_stapleton and @itweetstuffhere, and let us know.
